I thought hmmmm they probably have deleted it cause I haven't been here for bout a year. WHAT ??????? A year????? Up until about 1 year ago I always thought I was as organized as anyone else. Well guess what , I just found out last week I'm really not. Whinni me. OH GOOD GRIEF. So I started making myself lists so I could be ouganized. Kept loosin the dang lists. </i>Now the real problem is that I look really busy then Frank comes in and finds my list and asks what did ya take off the list today.? You know that tree house guy on t v ? I'm thinking of giving him a call to make Frank a tree house with NO way DOWN. hehehehe Then lets see that bugger find my list. ha Really , I've been down in my cotton pickin health. Oh well onward and upward. I hope. heheI've been goin thru my stash and have found I need a new LARGE cabinet. And since Frank makes furniture to sell , I figure he could make me a cabinet (at no charge) I mean after all I don't charge him to cook and clean. Although I don't do it unless I'm not in the mood to sew or what ever. hehehe Gosh darn it , summer is here. I hate heat. Until the winter. then I relly like it.<br />
Do yall see a pattern here? I think it is called "not gettin outta the house enough. I need to get out more so Brandi my daughter took me to the mall . She loves a place called Charming Charlies. OMG me too. If I'd have had unlimited money pretty near all the shelves would have had a missing piece or two. I'm gonna try to post some pictures . I'll TRY but so far it has never happened. So here goes.<br />

I'm gonna post my pictures here and maybe there too. That is IF I can figure out how to do it. hehehhe Been a while since I posted and millions of things have gone on in my life. Really !!
I found a yard sale and bought so much at such low prices that I was embarrased to leave. I got some depression glass , a corner shelfing unit , an antique plant stand with marble on the 2 shelves., also an antique pitcher and only paid $20.00 for it all .
Gotta go for now. Will try to post pictures in the am.

So better late than never. At least thats what I heard. hehehe
Lets see whats happened since August. Holy cow thats a long time......Well , I had a total knee replacement in September was home 4 days and fell and had to do it all over again. Dang it. That hurt !!!!! Finally got off the walker and can now walk reasonalbly well.
Next cat out of the bag , Frank spilled chocolate milk in my laptop. )(*U)(*&^&%^%$
of course yall understand..... He felt so bad he bought me a new one.Yippie. Since then the other laptop has dried out and is workin fine. hehehehe But really , I didn't think it would.
Oh shoot , I can't think of anymore right now. So maybe I will later in the week. Ya think????
So what are yall doin??? Let me know how all of you are.

I had an ad out trying to sell my new treadmill. I paid almost $600.00 for it , used it less than 2 weeks only to have my cardiologist to say I can't use it. They found a hole in my heart . So Lisa answered my ad and we became instant friends. I'm just sure we were friends before we came to earth. Isn't it weird how someone you've never met before , can become instant friends. I think this is a friendship that will last. We'll see.
Today , Frank is making me shelves to put my sewing stuff on. YIPPIE!!!! I'm tryin to get all my sewing stuff in one or two rooms. But I am realistic too , IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!
Kids start school on the 20th of August . My other dgk are gonna start next Monday. Dang , this summer went so fast.
Both of our daughters and son inlaw are doin fine. Our son inlaw is the greatest!! We are very lucky that he is in our family. But if he doesn't toe the line , I'm gonna beat him with wet floss. hehehe That nut head is always tryin to scare the be-jeppers out of me with spiders or bugs. The only good thing about this is they are plastic. Otherwise I'd probably pee my britches. hehehe
OUr Christmas stocking swap is due on Oct. 15. Hopefully , mine will be finished. I'm a really , really bad one to put things off. Oh and get this, Frank said I'm a piler . I have little piles all over our house. Well dang it , he gets the barn. I told him I know where any item is any time I need it. So in you eye Frank. hehe
Gotta go for now. Yall be good and stay cool as ya can.

So I checked it out and that is what it said for sure. So being the resourceful person I am . I contacted the company customer service dept. They had no idea what I was talking about. It too 3 emails to get thru the thick heads in the email room. I finally had to tell them to go to their own website to verify what I had been talking about.tHEY WENT in and took off the item of free thread set . Then absoulty NO contact from them at all. BUT they did change the ad . I'm so mad , I could choke them. I'll never buy anything from that company THREADART, again. I'm sick of bait and switch. Besides , its against the law. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only fool that fell for that ad. Maybe this will keep someone else from having a problem. The person's name is Gerry in customer service. I've written an email and told them to take me off ALL the lists I'm on. Yes I'm still upset. They seemed like a great company til today. And it may be just the idiot that I got, Gerry. I know I'll never hear anything back but I'll spread the word to all the groups I belong to and that will give me some satisfaction !!!!!Eileenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08628994291364448173noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435388309253499708.post-80402180916611324522012-06-11T06:18:00.001-05:002012-06-11T06:18:16.480-05:00Good friends and support for anotherYou know what with all the tension and turmoil in the world you'd think there couldn't possibly be anything good. On these yahoo ( and other ) groups I have found so many new friends . Without the internet , well , it just wouldn't be possible. So ornery as it gets sometimes, I love being able to make new friends. I found here a few weeks ago that my sewing machine died ! Well , if it hadn't I'd have killed it myself ! hehehe Darn thing just wouldn't do what I wanted it to do . Of course , Frank said it wasn't the machine , just the operator. ( Well that didn't help ). So anyway after complaining to a Canadian friend , I got a new machine. My friend , though we never met , except online, sent me one of her machines. Can you believe it???? I've been sewing up everything I can find. hehehe I've made 4 new quilt tops and clothes for "baby doll" of my granddaughters. So to Denise , thank you for loving to help. I just didn't know what to say when she sent it. But with tears of joy , I've used it like crazy.
I have several friends online and I love 'em all . In the groups I have joined , I've met some of the most special people I've never met. So to all of you , my needs and wants have been met and I'll love ya forever. I pay it forward too since I have been blessed so much by giving friends. There are so many people out there willing to help out . When I started out quilting , I didn't have much "stash" and my "stitchmap" group jumped right in and shared what they have with me and many others. We have a group within our group what is called "Stash Angles". I now am able to be one too. What we do is when someone joins the group , needs some stitching stuff , we see that she gets it. Yall remember when the HUGE fires were in Texas? Well my good friend Shari on StitchMap group started gathering things for all the stitchers there and with Lyn ( another buddy ) got it going and loads of people in and out of out our group sent trailers full of "stitching Stuff " including sewing machines. These ladies were wonderful in all the work and expense they went to . See , God does prepare for all of us .The ladies were all in love with all that we sent.Some could afford more than others and nobody cared if only a pkg of needles was sent. We all need help at one time or other. So with love to all my Online Friends .
So if ya get a chance to help someone , just do it. You will get much more in return. Have a great day.Eileenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08628994291364448173noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435388309253499708.post-52215599838747404622012-05-26T08:36:00.000-05:002012-05-26T08:46:09.031-05:00Rings and more Rings !!!!!!!!My good friend Kathy Shaw aka Shawkl, sent me the prettiest and bestest present ever.

This lady takes her tiny un useable quilting scraps to a preschool for the children to make something pretty. Isn't that a wonderful idea? I'm gonna start doin that today.

Started about 6 am and kept it up til noon. Snow was very heavy and wet. Kids are gonna love it.
Chance had a basket ball game on Saturday morning and they won. He was so excited he called me to say he is a "blocker" .He called a little later and said he lost a tooth too. That kid is a mess. He was waiting for the toothfairy to leave him some money . He said that 2 great things happened to him , his tooth and winning the ball game. Little stinker.
Today I've been working on my sewing machine. The race is broken and it will have to go to the shop . The kids call it the machine hospital. hehehe
Ali seems to have had strep this weekend. I hope the boys don't get it. Wonder how they are liking the snow. It'll probably be gone by the time school is out. We'll see.
Ferris , our neighbor is gonna let Chance use his basketball goal to practice on til Caymen gets a little bigger. I think they will be good buddies. I mean Caymen and Chance.
If yall have not signed up for TAST or the cqjournal project , get over there and do it. We're gonna have fun . Fun for all. Newbies and experienced alike can join and learn something new.

What a drag . So while I was sittin and sick I decided to make my gkids all a scripture bag for church. The pictures will follow this post. <br />NOW , I've gotten into a great challenge. Kathy aka Shawkl has decided to challenge us to a year of crazy quilting 6 inch squares. We will not send these on to others , we'll keep 'em all to make into a quilt, tote or whatever we decide. There won't be any judging on these , except by ourselves. So yall join us now <br />www.cqjp2012.blogspot.com<br /><br />I also found a new quilting site ,. www.quilthaven.com I really like it and you may too. So check it out. OK?<br />Also I found a OLD sewing machine from Japan. Its brand name is YOUNKERS . Wierd little dude but it hums like a new one. And it was given to me . Wow!!! I love these old metal sewing machines. I like to take 'em apart and clean 'em up then put 'em back together. I think this is called "cheap labor". hehehehe So now I have a 1909 Singer electric, a 1889 Singer Treadle and this Younkers. I already had 2 new Brother<br />machines and a Singer Simplicity from my MIL. so ya might say "I"m sewing machine poor". Frank thinks I'm nuts .heheheh Keeps me busy , so I keep at it. Gotta go for now.

Sorry 'bout that.......We had to have 2 of our furbabies put to sleep. Both born in , both blind , one had a few strokes and the other had a very bad heart condition. So our vet told us it would be kinder to put them to sleep. I cried for 3 days. Its gettin better now . But my little Haley was the sweetest little dog ever born. Gonna miss her like crazy. My little Ziggy was my partner at all times. No matter how bad he hurt , he'd always get up and go where ever I went. Yep, even to the bathroom. He'd just sit and wait on me no matter what I was doin. OM</i>G crying again. Gotta go. Till next time<i></i>.
